[00:03.68]Unit11 The Media Lesson4 What's in the Papers?

[00:09.55]A According to a research published

[00:12.07]by Leeds University yesterday,

[00:14.27]people don't mind bad language

[00:16.36]on television as long as it is not used

[00:18.43]in programmes watched by children.

[00:20.87]The study found there was "amazing agreement"

[00:23.72]about when bad language was serious

[00:25.98]and when it was not.

[00:27.55]Even a group of mothers agreed

[00:28.91]that a certain amount of bad language

[00:30.84]in the well- known film Pulp 1 Fiction

[00:33.27]was "OK" becuase the dialogue

[00:34.94]and situation made it "funny".

[00:37.04]Some people said they found the use of drugs

[00:39.16]in the film more worrring than the bad language


[00:42.56]People were asked to comment on scenes

[00:44.81]from films like Pulp Fiction,

[00:47.04]TV series like Channel 4's Brookside

[00:49.62]and cartoons like South Park.

[00:51.86]Leeds University concluded that people

[00:53.94]made a distinction between bad language used

[00:56.26]in programmes for adults,

[00:57.83]and those meant for children.


[00:59.81]Peter Moore, a writer at the BBC,said,

[01:02.75]"The result does not surprise us at all.

[01:05.02]We have always tried to keep bad language away

[01:07.15]from innocent 2 ears

[01:08.73]and this is a very important consideration

[01:11.43]when deciding at what times

[01:13.10]of day certain programmes are shown."

[01:15.20]Susan Bold 3, director of programmes at ITV,

[01:18.11]said,"The report gives interesting information

[01:20.82]about attitudes to bad language on screen.

[01:23.42]But it doesn't mean

[01:24.06]that we can increase the amount

[01:26.30]of bad language ued on television."
